INSPIRATION TIME, ‘QBH 1400: A TOUCH OF THE QUEEN


INSPIRATION TIME * “Bless Them, Then Forget Them” * WQBH

A TOUCH of THE QUEEN

___

The Queen. The Detroit radio ‘soul’ legend is best known for having devoted much of her air time speaking well of her spiritual faith, to instruct, uplift, and encourage (as well as admonish) with a devotion to inspire her Detroit audience daily (“Inspiration Time”) while at WJLB and WQBH.

If this WQBH radio segment you will find inspiring, this is what she did best. The Queen, she loved nothing more than sharing a word of reason, advice, encouragement, and sharing a word of “love.” Void of the usual radio “entertainment” on her shows, this was what The Queen was best loved and was known for during the four decades Martha Jean was on the radio in Detroit.
